December 31, 2013

Wow that year went by fast! It was a busy year for me…but I finally feel like I’ve found a good balance between doing what I love and caring for who I love. My only resolution is to keep working on it…to make the people I love my priority, and the rest is icing on the cake.

I love this quote…

…I’ve kept it on my desk to read when I’m having a loooong day (is Christmas break over yet???!). It’s a good reminder to fit in the little things that matter most and forget about all the other junk.

Perfect quote! Yeah, Christmas break may not end soon here! We have snow on the way. Thursday looks like a snow day, maybe Friday too. Of course, we are forecasted with more snow Monday. Mother Nature is being quite the jokester! I think she is mad because I got a Handiquilter for Christmas. She doesn't want me to use it. Perhaps I should make a quilt for her!

The quote is great. It makes me think of the one line in the Christmas song It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas…"and mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again" When I was a kid, I didn't get that line…now I do! lol

Happy New Year to you and your family, Allison! Thanks to you I made my very first quilt this year, the Road Trip. Looking forward to doing more next year. Have bought the Bizzy Kid and Pow Wow patterns.

"the days are long but the years are short" — isn't that the truth! I swear I was endlessly changing diapers and wiping noses the other day, but suddenly I have a 5th grader and a 7th grader now (who wipe their own noses and tushies, thank God). Did you make everything in that photo collage just last year? Very impressive!
